STOP FOB DOORS AND WINDOWS.

Application filed December 6, 1922.

T all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY 1N. VVBIGHT, a citizen of the United States and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and I'State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stops for Doors and Windows, of which the following, when taken in connection with the drawing accompanying and forming a 10 part hereof, is a specification.

This invention relates to stops which are placed in door frames and against which a door is closed, and which are placed in window frames, to hold in place and obtain guides for window sashes.

Among the objects of the invention is to obtain a stop which possesses a certain amount of elasticity to form a cushion; to obtain a stop which forms a yielding guide when placed in a window frame, to permit some swelling of a window sash when affected by moisture, and which will, at all times, fit closely to the sash, and to, obtain a stop of the kind named which is durable, not liable to get out of order, and is economically made.

In the drawing referred to Fig. 1 is an isometric perspective of a portion of a stop embodying the invention, showing one end thereof.

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the cushion members of the stop; and r Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a portion of the stop. 1

A reference character applied to designate a given part indicates said part throughout the several figures of the drawing wherever the same appears.

A represents a rigid member of the stop, 40 which is preferably made of wood, and is provided with a groove on one edge thereof,

B represents a cushion member, preferably Serial No. 605,308.

of vulcanized rubber, which is provided with a tongue I), on one edge thereof, said tongue corresponding with the groove in member A, and fitting closely therein. Member B is further secured to member A by cohesive material D, which is preferably glue. C represents fabric, preferably can vas, which is secured to the front edge of member B, as by being vulcanized thereto.

The member B is vulcanized in a manner to obtain suificient elasticity to form a yielding cushion, and the stop is placed in a window frame so that the member C is in close contact with the window sash in said frame, but without applying pressure on member'B to compress said member. IVhen so placed any swelling of the sash, due to moisture, will compress said cushion member B, notwithstanding which the textile member C provides a surface which permits the sash to be raised or lowered, without sticking, and without injury to member B. Said member C also prevents tearing of the cushion member B, when said member is made of vulcanized rubber, and the stop is used in a door frame, as well as when used as a window stop. 7

I claim:

A stop comprising a rigid member provided with a longitudinally extending groove on one edge thereof, in combination with a cushion member secured thereto, said cushion member provided with a tongue corresponding with and fitting in said groove, and consisting of vulcanized rubber and textile material vulcanized to the wearing face of said rubber.
